OpenSAFELY is a secure analytics platform for electronic patient records built on behalf of NHS England to deliver urgent academic and operational research during the pandemic.

This snapshot of vaccine coverage is an extension of our previous weekly reports on COVID-19 vaccination uptake in England. The snapshot includes data from the 40% of general practices that use TPP electronic health record software. The data requires careful interpretation and there are a number of caveats. Please read the full detail about our methods and discussion of our earlier results in our peer-reviewed publication in the British Journal of General Practice.

The full analytic methods behind the latest results in this report are available here.

Summary charts

Vaccination history by age

Show/hide more details

See summary tables for additional data.

In the column on the right, time since last dose is displayed using density plots, which show the relative concentration of values over a given range. In this instance, the height of the lines represents the proportion of individuals, and peaks reflect the timing of different booster campaigns.

Specifically, peaks at 2-6 months reflect individuals most recently vaccinated during the Spring 2023 booster campaign, peaks at 9-12 months reflect individuals most recently vaccinated during the Autumn 2022 campaign, and peaks at 18-24 months reflect individuals most recently vaccinated during the Autumn 2021 booster campaign. Further details on the timing and eligibility for each campaign can be found below.

In addition to these density plots, the average (median) time since last dose for each subgroup is provided in the summary tables.

Abbreviation: Unvax = unvaccinated.


Vaccination history by age and ethnicity
